"It was a good time to find jacks" said Graeme Bester as he collected the chips he'd won in a three-way all in. "Good time to squeeze," added a fellow player at his table.
It certainly worked out well for Bester who had three-bet all in for 23,000 over an open and two flat calls. The initial raiser folded but the cutoff player called for 11,000 and Justin Bateson decided he wanted to play too, calling from the button.

Jen Mason is top of the counts after a huge clash with Katarzyna Scisel. Thanks to Mason for relaying the details of the hand.
It began with three limps in front and Scisel made up the difference from the small blind before Mason checked her option in the big.
The flop fell and Scisel led for 4,500. Mason upped it to 14,000 and everyone else got out of the way before Scisel raised all in for 55,000. It was a snap-call from Mason and and she turned over for the straight and was in very good shape against Scisel's two pair with .
